Call to Worship
Claudia Salazar
Leader: Destruction and violence are everywhere; strife and contention are all around.
People: The needs of the world are so great; O Lord, increase our faith.
Leader: The law is slack, and justice does not prevail.
People: The needs of the world are so great; O Lord, increase our faith.
Leader: How many threats surround us: warfare, homelessness, loneliness, loss.
People: The needs of the world are so great, but you, O God, are greater still--
the One in whom all things are possible. O Lord, increase our faith in you!

Hymn #409
God Is Here
God is here! As we your people
meet to offer praise and prayer,
may we find in fuller measure
what it is in Christ we share.
Here, as in the world around us,
all our varied skills and arts
wait the coming of the Spirit
into open minds and hearts.
Here are symbols to remind us
of our lifelong need of grace;
here are table, font, and pulpit;
here the cross has central place.
Here in honesty of preaching,
here in silence, as in speech,
here, in newness and renewal,
God the Spirit comes to each.
Here our children find a welcome
in the Shepherd's flock and fold;
here, as bread and wine are taken,
Christ sustains us as of old.
Here the servants of the Servant
seek in worship to explore
what it means in daily living
to believe and to adore.
Lord of all, of church and kingdom,
in an age of change and doubt
keep us faithful to the gospel;
help us work your purpose out.
Here, in this day's dedication,
all we have to give, receive:
we, who cannot live without you,
we adore you! We believe!

Call to Confession
God answers those who seek mercy; salvation comes to those who wait for the Lord.
Therefore, let us confess all we have done, and what we have not done, trusting in God’s grace.
Prayer of Confession
Merciful God, you have called us to live in sincere faith and to suffer for the gospel.
We confess that we do not come before you with a clear conscience.
Our faith is clouded by sin and uncertainty. We shrink from your call to live sacrificially on behalf of others.
Too quickly, we seek our own ease and comfort first. We confess that in our own lives, and in the church,
we rely on our power rather than yours. Forgive us, we pray, for we are fractured and fearful disciples.
Take away from us a spirit of cowardice, and restore to us the spirit of power rightly used, of love unconditionally offered,
and of self-discipline gracefully lived. In new mercy, forgive us and increase our faith,
that we may be faithful servants at your table. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon

Hymn CCLI #1537904
Days of Elijah
These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the word of the Lord
And these are the days of Your servant Moses
Righteousness being restored.
And though these are days of great trial
Of famine and darkness and sword
Still, we are the voice in the desert crying
“Prepare ye the way of the Lord!”
Behold, He comes riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call
Lift your voice, the year of jubilee
And out of Zion's hill, salvation comes.
And these are the days of Ezekiel
The dry bones becoming as flesh
And these are the days of Your servant David
Rebuilding a temple of praise.
Oh, these are the days of the harvest
For the fields are as white in Your world
And we are the laborers in Your vineyard
Declaring the word of the Lord!
Behold, He comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call
Lift your voice, the year of jubilee
And out of Zion's hill, salvation comes
There’s no God like Jehovah (repeat x16)
Behold, He comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call
Lift your voice, the year of jubilee
And out of Zion's hill, salvation comes.

Hymn #526
Let us Talents and Tongues Employ
Let us talents and tongues employ,
reaching out with a shout of joy:
bread is broken; the wine is poured;
Christ is spoken and seen and heard.
Refrain:
Jesus lives again; earth can breathe again;
pass the Word around: loaves abound!
Jesus lives again; earth can breathe again;
pass the Word around: loaves abound!
Christ is able to make us one;
at the table he sets the tone,
teaching people to live to bless,
love in word and in deed express. (Refrain)
Jesus calls us in, sends us out
bearing fruit in a world of doubt,
gives us love to tell, bread to share:
God (Immanuel) everywhere! (Refrain)
